Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B

A primary source is one that is written by the person who lived through an advenure or is one doing the action and recording it.

In this case, the answer is B.

Most frequently, for a historian, a primary source is something like a diary or a bunch of letter written by someone experiencing something.

It cannot be about someone else's work. Not C or D

A textbook is not the answer either. It is a bulky summary of scientific, or other kind of thought.
